The family went to Tender Greens Restaurant in La Jolla and just loved the Rustic Chicken Soup.

So I decided to make some. I made chicken broth and cut up cooked chicken breasts. I bought mixed potatoes.

Lots of different squashes.

Carrots, celery, leeks and thyme.

I picked rosemary branches just to decorate the table with.

I love the smell and it gives the table that rustic look I wanted.

Scott made some sour dough baguettes for the meal.

I also grilled some eggplant from the garden.

It was a delicious Rustic Chicken Vegetable Soup for a June meal.

I wanted to let you know what happened this week to our Maggie.

Our lab, Maggie had to have major surgery this week. Her thymus gland was enlarged and was blocking her lungs and breathing. Dr. Frey the surgeon, did the surgery. It went very well and they took out the gland which was a size of an avocado. We're excited about bringing her home on Thursday. She's 11 1/2 years old. All of our 3 children are coming home for the big Homecoming. If any of you have dogs, you know what I mean. It will be a wonderful

Father's Day celebration!! I'll let you know how she's doing.

We ended up stopping by Myrtle Creek Gardens and Nursery when we dropped Maggie off, It was near the hospital. It's located in Fallbrook, California.

It's a wonderful peaceful place to go and enjoy all the wonderful sights and sounds of nature.

Stan and Jody, I love your wonderful blog which I'm now following! I live in England but have travelled up the cost of CA between LA and Frisco. It's such a beautiful place. I hope you might like to follow my blog, Lucy's Cottage. Best wishes, Fiona x

Another pretty tour! We love it in La Jolla, it's gorgeous there. I can't place the name, but there's a huge nursery right between Fallbrook and Escondido somewhere that I'd love to tour but haven't had the chance yet. Have you been and is it worth it? Your soup looks so lovely, like right out of a tuscan kitchen! I hope your sweet Maggie will be ok! :)

So happy that your darling Maggie is doing so much better! Yes, along with Father's Day, you have a lot to celebrate! Your rustic chicken soup looks scrumptious, with all those fresh veggies and the baguette must be delicious. Thanks for hosting and wishing you and Stan and your family a very Happy Father's Day.

I have been reading and loving Rooted in Thyme since I started blogging, but this is the first timeI have linked to your party. And you featured my Garden Shed! I was so thrilled. But I am such anew blogger that I don't know how to put your I was featured button on my blog! Are there directions somewhere for ignorant newbies like me? Thanks for hosting!

Hi there, I think my first time to your lovely blog, I must say you have hosted a wonderful party with so much goodness, your baguette and soup look wonderful. Fallsbrook is such a nice community, we were up there last year to present a seminar to the avocado farmers.

I hope to get back there again, we ate in a wonderful restaurant, good food.

I would love to have you stop by and share your blog at my Friday Features Party this week.

Love your chicken soup meal, I love rustic classic meals like that, I bet the soup was wonderful, and the bread looks delicious as well. :) Your adventure to Myrtle Creek looks like fun, what a great place to explore, I loved the old Gypsy caravan in the garden, what a wonderful looking garden! Thanks for hosting! :)
